Quote - All that I have read is that 4.5 is not compatable with any other DAZ program. OK this means you can use all of your DAZ apps but you cannot have DAZ3 or DAZ4 on the same puter as DAZ4.5 and that DAZ5 may be out at anytime so it is up to you. as for me I am holding off 4.5 untill 5 is out.

I will also add that if you need other males STIX has a few also do a search on SG and Rend you will find lots of them

Thank for this answer. I have decided to go ahead with the download of 4.5. As for have more than one version on my computer I will be allowing the new vewrsion to take the place of the older one as I cannot spare the memory to have two or three versions. My reason for this is that I have several different art applications on my computer, all of which I use on a regular basis. Aside from DS4 Pro, I have Bryce 7 Pro and Hexagon 2.5 Pro from DAZ 3D, Blender 2.63a, Wings3D, Project Dogwaffle, UVMapper, and Gimp 2.8. You could also include the default Windows Paint, and Microsoft Office PowerPoint. There is a limited application that comes from Kodak for photo and image manipulation which I rarely use since I get far better results from my other programs.

So as you can see, I am an artist that likes to use several applications for my work. I might create a model in one program, export it to a separate one for mapping and texturing, another to apply decals and paint schemes, and another to create the scene and render it. I do this because certain operations work better in in certain programs than in others. Of course I am still learning with many of them. Even so I am already creating some pretty fantastic stuff. As for characters, I mostly rely on DAZ Studio, as I am not yet proficient enough to create my own, with a few exceptions when the character is a creature from my own imagination.

Anyways, I think I had already made my decision before posting the question. I just had a few trepidations about it as I am sometimes likely to have. It helps to post questions about such things, because it makes me think more clearly on the subject weighing the pros and cons involved. 

I will check out the sites you mentioned in my search for more male figures. Thank you for giving me the heads up on them. My general searches have not turned any of them up, so you have done me a great service.

Stay awesome!
